Leveraging the Power of Single-spa for Microfrontend Development

The frontend of a web application is often the most complex and challenging part of the development process. With the rise of microservices architecture, the frontend has become even more complex, with multiple teams working on different parts of the application and needing to integrate their work seamlessly. This has led to the popularity of micro-frontends, a software architecture pattern that involves breaking a monolithic frontend application into smaller, independently deployable, and scalable components. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what micro frontends are, why they are becoming increasingly popular, and what developers need to keep in mind when using micro frontends.

What are Microfrontends?

Micro frontends is a software architecture pattern that involves breaking a monolithic frontend application into smaller, independent components that can be deployed and managed separately. Each micro-frontend has its own user interface, business logic, and data model, and communicates with other micro-frontends and the backend through APIs. Micro frontends are typically developed by different teams and can be written in different programming languages and frameworks.
